From the Organizer
Run a 5K trail race or enjoy a 1 mile walk to support patients and families of Boston Children’s Hospital, in loving memory of Xavier (Zay) Davis.
Come to Medomak Valley High School and enjoy the beautiful nature trail. You can choose your option—an untimed, one mile walk at 9AM or a 5k trail race starting at 9:30.
We will have some prizes for the 5k field and raffles for our walkers!
The route is a 1 mile loop, with a mix of stone dust trail and grassy field. It’s a fast and fun course if you’re running, or perfect for a nature walk.
All proceeds will be donated to the Boston Children’s Hospital in loving memory of Zay, turning your miles into miracles.
There is a virtual option for the 5k for those who would like to participate and support the BCH but are from away!
Thank you for participating in this Zay Strong fundraiser benefitting Boston Children’s Hospital!
Here is my official fundraising page, if you would like to make an additional donation to Boston Children’s without extra fees from Run Sign Up:

All race proceeds and donations via RunSignUp will be added to my official fundraising page after the completion of the Zay Strong Fun Run on August 22.
